Cheesy Pizza Roll Recipes

CHEESY PEPPERONI PIZZA ROLLS

Steps:

• Place pizza dough on a lightly floured work surface, and press into a rectangle. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the dough to within 1/2 inch of the crust edges (you will not need all of the sauce), and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
• Evenly distribute pepperoni and onion over the cheeses, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
• Tightly roll up the dough to form a log, pinching the seam together to seal. Transfer dough to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to make slicing easier.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 12 individual rolls and set onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pizza rolls are golden brown in color and the cheese has melted, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Serve pizza rolls with the remaining warmed marinara as a dipping sauce.

CHEESY PIZZA ROLL RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Let the dough thaw out for about an hour (if you're using refrigerated pizza crust, you can skip this step).
• Roll out the dough with a rolling pin so that it is about 1/4 inch thick. Spread about 1/2 cup sauce over the bread.
• Place Mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices over the sauce. Then add any other toppings you like. We like black olives.
• Carefully roll up (you'll want to roll it so it's long and thin rather than short and thick) and place on a baking sheet. If you use a bread loaf, you may have to cut it in half to fit it on the baking sheet.
• Brush with beaten egg, then top with grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, we love the flavor it gives the crust.
• Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
• Let cool for 5 minutes then cut into slices.
• Dip in remaining pizza sauce (or preferred dipping sauce).
